obama-care -- i just don't know sort of how that beast works. well enough to answer, to give you any specifics. but that rather than the pure delegation challenge is what in legal terms i would look to. >> let me just add to that a couple additional thoughts. one, obama-care is an interesting and unusual example in that it was passed and signed into law without consensus among the american people that it was good policy. and that failure to adopt has continued. and we saw that expressed in the most recent election. so you now have a congress that at least in part no longer supports the policy and a president who does -- part of the answer will be the next election. will it continue to be something the american people are rejecting and want their leaders to reverse. the other part -- i think we have to be careful as we look at mechanisms like the she hachevr doctrine and where it causes problems in other context. so the one i favor and it may not be expect as they've written it but it's a good start is this reins act that says congress is going t

you hear obama care is the takeover of the healthcare system. if you change the y axis and over lay on to it what the federal government was spending on healthcare before, that's what we were spending on healthcare before the a.c.a. so the thing i try to explain if obama care is the government takeover of the healthcare system then what is all this? it's important if we are concerned about federal spending and the growth of federal spending and the fiscal instability that is caused by the growth of spending, we have to look at the toalty of the problem and not merely the a.c.a. this is possibly the most important chart i'll show you. what this chart is mapping out is per capita government spending on healthcare in the advanced economies, not total spending, but public spending. the perception a lot of conservatives have is if we expand coverage, we're going to spend more. that's the main reason they have been so concerned about the a.c.a. but the point of this chart is actually that before the a.c.a. was enacted or at least before the spending w
